TANGLED WEBS by Imogene Nix
In
the course of a single day Gia Montgomery loses her job and discovers that her
boyfriend—now ex-boyfriend—is a two-timing sleaze. After downing a bottle of
wine, she catches sight of Cedun in her backyard. He's the Ba'Tua heir who has
been living on Earth for several years. Gia struggles to ignore the strong
attraction between them, because she's sure he's seeing someone else. Someone
very close to her, in fact.
When
the situation with her ex turns nasty, Cedun finally has a chance to set things
straight between himself and Gia, but nothing is as simple as it seems. Cedun
must protect Gia and sort out an impossible love-life tangle before it's too
late.

believes the cargo of gems is what he's come for, but there is one jewel he
never expected. Her name is Kateri, and she changes everything.
Saving
the woman's life, and making a fortune in the process, requires only one thing
of Ric—his freedom. In order to obtain the gems he has to agree to take Kateri

HIS HUMAN by Jaye Shields
Can
a human clone trained to kill also learn to love?
Elara
Roberts is the captain of a space shuttle sent to retrieve a group of cloned
soldiers from the planet US-2. As soon as she lands, the shuttle is overtaken
and all of her men killed.
Svarog
aka Rogue, is the leader of a rebel group of clones who desire freedom. He's
been trained his entire life for one thing—to kill. But when he lays eyes on
Elara, the only woman he's ever seen, his first instinct is to love. Taking her
for himself, his new mission becomes exploring the body of the creature, and
punishing any other clone male who dares come close.
Elara
witnessed how easily Rogue killed her men and fears she is next. But instead,
the beast seems curious and more lustful than anything else. Her best survival
strategy is to play along. But when she gets a chance to escape she realizes
she may not be ready to leave Rogue behind.

Gravitation by Beth D. Carter
Can
Bree and Niah's love overcome their species being at war with one another?
Bree
has spent her whole life hiding from the aliens who destroyed what was once
Earth. When she stumbles across a wounded alien, common sense tells her to kill
him before he can kill her, but her compassionate side refuses to obey.
Instead, she helps him.
The
two forge a temporary truce when they're forced to band together for
protection. But as the days slip by, the alien Niah won't leave her, and as
friendship gives way to something more, she can't help but wonder when, or if,
them being on opposite sides will break the fragile bonds of love forming
between them.

Bio:
IMOGENE NIX
Imogene is a mother of two, compulsive
reader, and bookstore owner. She lives in regional Queensland, Australia with
her husband, two daughters, dog, cats, guinea pigs, and chooks. She has a
particular fondness for vampires, star ship captains, and things that go bump
in the night (especially vampire types).
Imogene has tried many varied roles in
her working life including kindergarten assistant, teacher, principal, and
kindergarten and child care director, but rates owning a bookstore and writing
her own novels as the absolute highlight.
In her mother and wife alter ego, she
has traveled widely and lived in some very unique places including Far Western
Queensland, Cape York, and even Tasmania. She loves to travel and rates China
and Hong Kong among her favorite destinations.
ASHLYNN MONROE
Ashlynn Monroe is a busy working mom.
She loves her kids and family. Her greatest joy is creating stories to
entertain others, and she hopes they bring a little more romance into the
world. She’s been writing since her teens, for her own enjoyment, but decided
in her thirties to share her imagination with readers. Ashlynn enjoys biking,
camping, reading, video games, and filling her home and life with love. If
she’s not working or chasing her children, you can find her daydreaming up her
next tale of romance.
JAYE SHIELDS
Jaye Shields is a flight attendant by
day and romance author by night. Her addictions include reading, travel, and
other activities not even a romance writer will confess to. She’s in a
committed love affair with her readers, so don’t be shy!
BETH D. CARTER
Beth likes writing about the very
ordinary girl thrust into extraordinary circumstances, so her heroines will
probably never be lawyers, doctors, or corporate highrollers. She tries to
write characters who aren’t cookie-cutter and pushes herself to write
complicated situations that she has no idea how to resolve, forcing herself to
think outside the box. She loves writing characters who are real, complex, and full
of flaws, heroes and heroines who find redemption through love.
Beth has been pretty fortunate in life
to experience some amazing things. She’s lived in France and traveled
throughout Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. She’s a mom to an amazing little
boy, and she’s surrounded by friends and family. She hates washing dishes but
loves cooking, hates washing clothes but loves wearing them. Her favorite color
is red, but she looks best in black (it’s slimming). She hates people who don’t
pick up their dog’s crap in public places, people who don’t use turn signals,
and people who are rude and condescending. She especially hates discrimination
in all and every form. And although she loves holding a book in her hand, she
absolutely adores her ereader, whom she’s named Ruby.
